NANCY PELOSI'S CONTROVERSIAL PRESIDO TRUST: THE UNPUBLICIZED QUESTIONS ABOUT THE NEW OCCUPANTS IN THE U.S. ARMY'S OFFICERS' HOUSING IN SAN FRANCISCO

4 Jun 2008 // The reason Nancy Pelosi is Speaker of the House is the Democrats won back their congressional majority in 2006 after a dozen years in the minority. And one of the main reasons the Democrats won back that majority is they campaigned against the “culture of corruption” under Republican rule.
But Pelosi sees the ethical problems of some Democrats much differently than she views the ethics of the House under the iron hand of former Majority Leader Tom DeLay, the so-called “Hammer,” who left Congress under criminal indictment.

The scariest part of this money flow is how the Democrats view their good fortune. According to The Hotline, "Asked about the influx of K St dollars to the would-be leaders of a Democratic-controlled House, Pelosi spokesman Brendan Daly said it indicated "support for our agenda and the political reality that we have a chance to win."

"While it's true that she voted against authorizing the president to go to war in October 2002, she has voted for every single war appropiation bill, save one, even though in 2004 her San Francisco constituents voted overwhelmingly for a policy statement (Proposition N) in favor of the immediate withdrawal of troops from Iraq."
You may think it's your business but the facts say otherwise unless you're getting a monthly check. Democrats who are also progressives in this district have tried to talk to her in every way we could. She has no time for us and on top of that, her book is bombing. Sad, all the way around. Most of us were thrilled when she became Speaker. Iirc, she was the first one to call Junior a "miserable failure". Somewhere between then and now, something changed.
